THE EFFECT OF USING CANVA MEDIA ON STUDENTS' LEARNING INTERESTS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES IN THE INDONESIAN LANGUAGE SUBJECT OF GRADE V SD NEGERI SUKASARI 5 KOTA TANGERANG

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using Canva as a learning medium on students' interest and academic performance in Indonesian language subjects at Grade V of SD Negeri Sukasari 5, Tangerang City. The urgency of this study arises from the need for innovative learning media to enhance student motivation and understanding. A quantitative approach was used with a Quasi-Experimental Research design, involving two groups: class Va as the experimental group using Canva and class Vb as the control group with conventional methods. Data were collected through questionnaires and post-tests. Validity tests using SPSS 25 showed that all questionnaire items were valid and reliable (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.683). The normality test indicated that the data were normally distributed in both groups, while the homogeneity test confirmed the data's uniformity. Multivariate analysis (MANOVA) results indicated significant effects (p < 0.05) across all indicators (Pillai’s Trace, Wilks’ Lambda, Hotelling’s Trace, Roy’s Largest Root), leading to the acceptance of Hₐ. Findings revealed that Canva significantly improved students' learning interest and academic performance. This study contributes to the development of digital media-based learning strategies to enhance the quality of primary education.
